In part two of the Battle of Beecher Island, Jack Stilwell tells the story of how Roman Nose leads the second attack against a small force of military scouts at the Arickaree fork of the Republican River.

Wallace, near the railhead of the Kansas Pacific Railroad. The mission was to counter the Indian attack by trailing and punishing the raiding Party.
